In this research, we prepared novel hydrogels from enzymatically synthesized α-1,3-glucan and its carboxymethyl derivative by crosslinking with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether. The resulting hydrogels were highly swellable and pH-sensitive with an enhanced, highly developed structure, and showed excellent protein/dye adsorption performances. Furthermore, the hydrogels had good biodegradability and could be degraded in soil extract solution. The prepared hydrogels have potential applications as green and environmentally-friendly adsorbents for the effective removal of organic dyes in printing and dyeing wastewater.Graphical AbstractEnzymatic synthesized α-1,3-glucan was converted into carboxymethyl glucan and subsequently crosslinked with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether to form hydrogels. We evaluated the protein and dye adsorption capacity of the hydrogels and analyzed the absorption mechanism. Furthermore, the hydrogels’ notable biodegradability, evidenced by their decomposition in soil extracts, underscores their potential as environmentally-friendly adsorbents for environmental remediation. |
